Anyone else seen this? Spam in the past 24 hours, almost certainly all coming from the same source, with, I have to admit it, creative ’sender’ names.

Names like:
Amateurism B. Sophocles
Unmindful J. Mejia

And my favourite:
Visualizing I. Nappies (eeeewww!)

Now if only they made the middle initial play on the rest of cute name, it would almost be worth watching for the spam - even more so if the cute ‘from’ name played into the subject line and the product being hawked. Got that spammers? Take a hint - make your header grab our hearts, and our ‘forward’ keys may not follow! Entertain us!
